Persons with HIV or AIDS - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Somers, WI.

For people with HIV/AIDS who also struggle with a substance abuse problem, their pre-existing chronic medical condition is something that must be recognized and adequately addressed at the same time they receive rehabilitation for their addiction. Getting and keeping this client in treatment is not only central for their well-being, but for the safety of the public due to the fact they may spread their disease to others should their substance abuse problem continue.

In many cases, clients who battle with both issues concurrently may have let their health decline because of the lack of care most addicted individuals give themselves even when they are without HIV or AIDS. Many stop taking their medication, stop seeking medical care, etc. and therefore need serious medical intervention once they do reach drug or alcohol addiction treatment. Aside from rehabilitation for their addiction, in a facility which provides treatment for persons with HIV or AIDS, they will receive a medical exam to see whether they have any other problems associated with their diagnosis. This would include checking for Hepatitis A, B, and C, tuberculosis, diabetes, dental issues, other STDs and mental health disorders.

Addiction treatment for people with HIV or AIDS in Somers includes detox treatment that are responsibly administered with both the client and the treatment staff in mind. Through counseling, psychotherapy and holistic services people with HIV or AIDS can become inspired to be healthier, sober, and happier, and attending self-help groups where other persons have the same goal is strongly encouraged.
